WildStar, Carbine's space Western MMORPG, has gone into open beta. The game's beta version will be available to the public until this Sunday, May 18. Players who have not yet participated in a WildStar beta can learn how to join at the game's open beta page.

The game officially launches on June 3, but customers who pre-order will have access to the game starting on June 1. Players who log into the beta will receive special rewards at launch, including the Highwayman Costume and daily Boom-Box rewards that have a chance to contain unique outfits, mounts, etc. All beta characters will be wiped before launch.

This open beta trailer gives us some background on the mysteries that our adventurers seek to solve in the game. It does not, however, convey the overall humorous tone that pervades the game. That's more in evidence in various other trailers that the development team has released.
